Coconut Burfi is the most popular sweet done during many festivals like Krishna jeyanthi , Diwali etc.. This is made by mixing the coconut in the sugar syrup. I tried it today and it turned out really well. So thought of sharing this in my blog. Here comes the step wise pictures of making coconut burfi.

2. You can also roast the coconut in ghee and add to the sugar syrup.
